Honestly I’ll never forgive the Maleficent movie for making the good fairies bumbling idiots and the King into a metaphorical rapist all to make Maleficent look better.

i think aurora’s lack of screen time warrants a sequel rather than a rewrite of the og film because three middle-aged to elderly women being the protagonists who save the day is just too good

"rule of cool" is nearly always better than "wow this makes so much sense" in media and we all used to have that opinion until social media and cinema sins turned yall into whiny dorks

I dislike how cultural impact is used as a metric in determining if a piece of art is 'better' than another. Culturally resonant art doesn't automatically outrank its more insular counterparts.

Misogyny, colourism, menicisetal statetism, cankerous tribalism, ethnocentric chauvinism, syphilitic parochialism, epileptic nepotism, cataleptic parapoism and state brigandish, of the bluest dye.

Every time I hear the words "What will we eat tomorrow" @Ojieka_Oko short film comes viscerally to my mind. A beautiful work of art. A haunting conclusion. I cannot wait for it to grace your screens

The thing I dislike about "Who had a better verse" discourse is a lot of the time it's a ploy to tear someone down disguised as healthy debate …

Hot take: Kendrick Lamar has NEVER been outrapped on a song. Name ONE track where someone outperformed him.

Bible lore kinda creepy, God saying “let there be light” implies that before that command he was an indescribable thing slurking about, like all the angels in heaven were doing their job via echolocation or w/e

What makes the African design here so beautiful is that it is a homage to the cultural/indigenous art style of the region depicted Genndy Tartakovsky is a gem
